Episode: The Accuracy of Thigh-Worn Accelerometer in Measuring Children’s Cycling - Article Highlight
Description: Summary: In this episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen discusses a 2023 study titled "Sensitivity and Specificity of Measuring Children's Free Living Cycling with a thigh worn Fibion accelerometer." The study explores the effectiveness of the Fibion device in accurately measuring the duration and intensity of children's physical activity while cycling. The results indicated that the Fibion accelerometer was capable of accurately capturing cycling activity, but could underestimate the metabolic equivalent of tasks (MET) during cycling due to interruptions like traffic lights or freewheeling.
